Let's be honest, no one can foresee the unplanned storms that can come our way!  As the East Coast prepares for Hurricane Dorian,  Emily shares some stories from her past where she had to weather the storms while being a Creative Business Owner. Because let's face it...Florida can't be sunny all of the time.   From flooding to winds, you never know what mother nature will throw at you and your business. Emily has some crazy stories and she shares them with you this week. When it rains, it pours and as a business owner you have to protect your family, your home, and your business!

In this episode Emily discusses how there is a big difference between running a business or having your business run you. When building a business its very easy for us to forget why we started, and sometimes as business owners we simply struggle to let go of our "baby!"

We chat about exercising leadership by hiring the right people, preparing the business so that you can step away at times, and how aligning yourself with the right mentors is key to making sure you don't end up with a business that runs you ragged.

Ever heard that quote before? Business is not something you can start and right away BOOM! 

As explained in this episode, it's easy for friends and family to get excited about your business ideas but not many successful business owners explain to you what to expect when nothing is happening. How do you navigate your future plans when your current ones are moving as slow as a turtle? 

Unfortunately business is like that sometimes, and Emily explains to us through her years of experience in business exactly what to expect and how to stay afloat. 

This week Emily jumps on to talk about being a mom and running a business. It is definitely a balancing act and always something to keep working on. There is no perfect formula but keeping your priorities in order and continuously working towards balance is the key! Listen as Emily talks about some of the ups and downs of trying to keep balance in her family.
